At Mar-Bella Collection, our story begins and flows with the sea. The dazzling Ionian Sea isn’t just a beautiful backdrop to our hotels. It’s part of who we are. It connects us and inspires us.
That’s why we’re so proud to be supporters of the Ionian Environment Foundation (IEF) to help protect the amazing marine life of the local area. As part of our commitment, we’ve made an initial donation to the Ionian Dolphin Project.
Since 1991, the Ionian Dolphin Project has worked to ensure the long-term viability of marine mammals living in the coastal waters of the eastern Ionian Sea. These waters are home to dolphins and the endangered Mediterranean monk seal, species facing significant threat due to increasing human activity and habitat loss. Our contribution will go towards the purchase of a high-quality camera lens, an essential tool that will enhance the ability to conduct detailed photo-identification of dolphins and other marine mammals during field surveys, not only in the project's current efforts, but in ongoing research for years to come..
Founded in 2019, IEF is dedicated to protecting and preserving the natural beauty of the Ionian region. By supporting local initiatives, IEF helps them grow, succeed, and create lasting impact, focusing its efforts on the most effective and meaningful conservation projects.
